Land

What owning land in Bama involves.

Ownership, buying, selling, leasing, valuation and investment of land, as they apply in Bama LGA.

OwnershipOwning land in BamaIn Bama LGA, as everywhere in Borno, the Land Use Act applies: you own a right of occupancy, not freehold. Land at the edge of Bama is often still held by families, which makes family consent and a customary right of occupancy essential. Foreign individuals and companies usually hold through a company incorporated in Nigeria.

BuyingBuying a plot in BamaAround Bama LGA, plots are usually sold by families. Family consent, beacons found on the ground and a secured access route come before payment. At about 109 km from Maiduguri airport, land in Bama is usually seen by video, with our team on site.

SellingSelling land in BamaPlots in Bama LGA mostly sell to land bankers, small developers and families planning to build. A perfected title sells faster, so we secure Governor’s Consent and the survey before listing, and price against recent land sales in Chachile, Ndine and Wulbari.

LeasingGround leases in BamaGround leases in Bama LGA suit farmers and agro-processors. We vet tenants, agree the term and reviews in writing, and collect ground rent for you.

ValuationValuing land in BamaA land value in Bama LGA is set from recent comparable land sales in Chachile, Ndine, Wulbari and Batra, adjusted for plot size, shape and frontage; the title type; road access; and distance to Maiduguri (about 95 km).
